"Black cherry, lavender, crushed rocks, smoke and game are some of the signatures in the 2008 Vecina. Dark and brooding, the 2008 possesses remarkable freshness and minerality that gives the wine its sense of energy. Despite its many virtues, the 2008 still needs time to be at its best." 

James Suckling, 96 Points 

"Insane nose of porcini mushrooms and dark fruits. Forest floor too. Hints of spices. Amazing. Black fruits too! Full-bodied, with an amazing finish. This is superb. So long and powerful." 

Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"Engagingly complex and layered, with a mix of dried currant, wild berry, forest floor, cedar, black licorice and tobacco flavors. Full-bodied and slow to unfold, gaining a sweetness on the finish."  

Alcohol: 14.5%
